Health committee  First of all, I'm not totally sure what kind of practice you're referring to. Is it around the other drugs or the controlled drugs and substances, the drugs of abuse?

Carole Bouchard

Health committee  Okay. If I'm not mistaken, the current strategy focuses on only a couple of pillars. I think what was forgotten at the time of the development of that strategy was really prescription drug abuse. That is missing and that's probably where we are here. There is a need to put more

Health committee  I agree that education is very important as a strategy. It's hard to really say exactly what it should be, but I think I'd like to emphasize it again. I know I mentioned that a lot in my presentation at the beginning. I think the best thing to do from the beginning is to revisit

Carole Bouchard

Health committee  That is a good question, Ms. Morin. I have no answer for you. Thinking back, I believe that there may have been a change in practices and policies; perhaps it ended because of budget cuts. In the program I was talking about a few minutes ago, everything was done on paper. Unfort

Health committee  Yes, indeed, in the 1980s, there was a national oversight program that monitored prescriptions for controlled substances. All the pharmacists in Canada were required to report their sales of certain products that were controlled under federal legislation. The reports of those sal

Carole Bouchard

Health committee  Thank you for your question. With regard to a pan-Canadian monitoring system, I may answer that twofold. First, in most of the United States they already have a prescription drug monitoring program, and somehow they've realized, maybe a little bit too late, that they needed to h

Health committee  Therefore, those drugs need to be scheduled very quickly to be able to add them to the monitoring. So a quicker scheduling process should also apply for drugs that may be abused, and it requires urgent review and scheduling in situations where new trends of abuse emerge, for exam

Human Resources committee  I don't have the exact number, because it's not only the number of seats that has increased in each of the schools; we have also had new schools of pharmacy in some jurisdictions. The University of Waterloo is an example of a new school of pharmacy having been created a couple of

October 20th, 2011Committee meeting

Carole Bouchard

Human Resources committee  To add to your question, in a sense this brings us back to the issue of health human resources planning and how important it is to know exactly what we need and how it can be monitored on an ongoing basis and assessed and then re-corrected, if necessary. To clarify the point so t

Carole Bouchard

Human Resources committee  Yes. I would be happy to answer you. I just want to clarify something first: our project is not completed. So the website is not up yet. There will be many other components besides the website. I mentioned that assessment tools and a database will be available to candidates. Th

Carole Bouchard

Human Resources committee  I'm going to go first. I think you asked for feedback about the two organizations, HRDC and also CIC.
